Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Generally described as tidy and aesthetic in several reviews, but one guest reported a strong unpleasant odour in a ground-floor room; overall clean but not flawless.
Service
9.4
Staff repeatedly described as friendly and helpful (provided a fan on request, attentive service, flexible breakfast times, library access); overall very positive service sentiment.
Location
9.7
Consistently praised as very central and convenient (near Hauptbahnhof and the Alster) while remaining in a quiet street — a clear strength.
Room Quality
8.2
Rooms are often called stylish, cosy and well furnished, but some guests noted issues: long/dark layouts, heat (no AC), noise from upstairs, and isolated reports of a broken fridge.
Amenities
8.8
Lovely garden, library and breakfast offering highlighted as strong amenities; however lack of air conditioning, occasional non-working appliances and a locked kitchen (extra fee) reduce the score.
Value for Money
9
Many guests find the hotel a special, good-value city stay given location and atmosphere; a few felt the €35 kitchen fee or basic facilities weakened perceived value.
Food and Beverage
9.6
Breakfast is repeatedly described as excellent/a dream in the garden; a minority found the buffet/basic facilities less impressive, but overall very positive.
Overall Experience
8.7
Overall described as a charming urban oasis that many would return to; a few notable negatives (heat, smell, occasional noise or facility issues) temper an otherwise very positive experience.

Gute Lage in schönem Viertel von HH
Pros:

Das blaue Haus ist sehr schön gestaltet und die vielen Bücher beeindruckend

Cons:

Das Zimmer, der Service und insbesondere das Nicht-Entgegenkommen bei unseren Wünschen bezüglich des Zimmers. Es wäre zu komplex dies hier auszuführen. Von einem Hotel - in dieser Klasse - erwarte ich einfach mehr Dienstleistung.
Interessant ist auch dass die Gartenzimmer mit einer gut ausgestatteten Feuertreppe versehen sind, die direkt an den Zimmern anliegt. Diese soll angeblich nicht genutzt werden, wird sie jedoch und so mussten wir die Holzladen zumachen, damit keiner in unser Zimmer blicken konnte. Das ist insgesamt sehr unglücklich gelöst und gelaufen.

Super sted i spændende by.
Pros:

Dejligt hotel. Det var 4. gang jeg boede her og efter renovering af det røde hus er det bare super.
Beliggenhed i rolig gade tæt ved banegården. Fint kvarter.
Skønt værelse.

bibliophile Kostbarkeit
Pros:

Schön gestaltetes, wenn auch etwas Zimmer mit einem tollen Stadtgarten und ein hochwertiges Frühstück. Überragend natürlich die Bibliothek, man hätte sich über Wochen festlesen können.

Cons:

Für eine Nacht am Wochenende dann doch so teuer wie ein Luxuswellnesshotel mit Spabereich.
